IMPROVEMENT IN BUTTER-WORKERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 186,852, dated January 30, 1877 application filed June 20, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, EBENEZAR D. KITCH- EN and EMANUEL W. KITCHEN, of Buckingham township, in the county of Bucks, and in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Butter- Workers; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part'of this specification.

The nature of our invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a butterworker, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which our invention appertains to make and use the same, we will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which Figure l is a transverse vertical section of our butter-worker. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section of the same.

A represents the exterior box, made substantiallyof the form shown in Fig. 1, and

provided-with an interior circular box, B, leav-.

ing a chamber,.0, between the two boxes for hot or cold water, or ice. a care outlets from the box B and chamber 0. E is the lid, formed of a wooden frame with glass or other transparent material, so that in working the butter the operator can see its condition, and yet retain the same temperature in the box B. The butter-worker consists of a center shaft, H, having on one side aflat or straight paddle, I, and on the opposite side another paddle, J, corrugated or creased to a suitable depth along the outer edge. The straight paddle I,

in working the butter, creases the roll of butter lengthwise, andgthe corrugated paddle J creases it crosswise, thereby working the butter more rapidly and thoroughly. The shaft H has at one end a metal ferrule or cap, K, with a central projecting hollow gudgeon, b,

through which a screw, a, is passed from the outer end inward into the shaft for holding the cap thereon, said cap strengthening the shaft. The gudgeon b is inserted in a metal box, d, secured on the inside at one end of the interior chamber B. On the other end of the shaft H is a similar ferrule or cap, L, fastened thereto by one or more screws through the side. This cap has noprojecting glidgeon, but in place thereof, in the center of its end, is formed a nut, e. In the end of the 'ch'amberB, opposite this end of the butterworker, is a metal box, f, passing entirely through, as shown, and through this box is passed a hollow journal, h, formed with a crank, M, and in this hollow journal is swiveled a thumb-screw, k, which is screwed into the nut c in the end of the cap L on the butter-worker shaft, and thus said butter-worker is journaled in the box. Above the boxes d and f are similar boxes d f, for the attachment of the churn-dasher in precisely the same manner when that is to be used.

Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, i s-- l. The butter-worker herein described, consisting of the straight paddle I and the corrugated or creased paddle J on the opposite sides of the center shaft H, as and for the purposes herein set forth.

2. The combination, with the butter-worker H I J, of the cap K, with hollow gudgeon b, fastened by the screw (1, the boxes d f, cap L, with nut c, crank M, with hollow journal h, and swiveled thumb-screw 70, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing we have hereunto set our hands this 24th day of May, 1876.
